Description I always liked the cover of The Fray's "How to save a life", so I decided to take some photos with a light bulb..

I really love how the reflections in the bulb turned out


THANK YOU ^Shalora for the DD! and thanks everyone for faving and commenting, it means a lot!





Custom bokeh with Christmas lights hanging down from my desk.

There are tutorials for it:

either here: [link]

or:

~roseonthegrey described it on here website: [link]

=YellowEleven has got a tutorial deviation: [link]



I think I have to recut the heart maybe...and it was kind of difficult to get an even distribution of the bokeh, but I intended to keep it more or less on the top of the picture where the bulb is, so that's fine
50mm f/1.8 lens. self timer.
I love the focus I achieved in this picture!

Cutting and colorbalancing in Photoshop. I also put a purple layer on it (about 10% opacity) to make the dark/bright difference in the background a little less harsh (yeah I know there shouldn't be one at all, it's the shadow of my desk )

Noise reducing due to high iso. period.



HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

I love how you did not photoshop out the scars on your hands. It makes the piece more interesting.

Wow! what a stunning photo! The reflection in the light bulb looks like some sort of mystical vision.
It looks like a light bulb can replace a crystal ball now. xD
